Glintis Outdoor LED Bollard Light - Brown, 4000K, 9.5W

The Glintis is a 650mm tall outdoor LED bollard light in powder-coated brown aluminium, housing an integrated 9.5W 4000K LED behind an opal polycarbonate diffuser. The cylindrical shade sits on a circular 120mm-diameter base that mounts to concrete or paving via concealed fixing holes, with the cable fed through the centre of the post.

Designed for pathway lighting, driveway edges, garden borders and patio perimeters, the Glintis provides functional ground-level illumination without glare. The 4000K colour temperature gives a neutral white light that aids visibility along paths and steps after dark, while the opal diffuser softens the light and prevents harsh shadows. The IP44 rating protects against rain and splashes, making the fitting suitable for exposed outdoor positions in typical UK weather.

The brown powder-coat finish on the aluminium post gives a warm, earthy tone that sits comfortably in planted borders and blends with natural stone paving and timber garden structures. The post is hollow, with the LED driver housed inside the base section, keeping the electrical components away from direct weather exposure. At 650mm height the bollard provides low-level wayfinding light without obstructing sightlines across a garden or patio.

Can the Glintis be installed directly into soil?

No. The bollard is designed to be surface-mounted on solid ground such as concrete, paving slabs or decking. The cable feeds through the centre of the base, so the mounting surface needs to allow for either an underground cable run or a conduit to reach mains power. Installing directly into soil without a hard base will compromise stability and waterproofing.

What is the light output and spread pattern?

The 9.5W LED produces a soft, diffused downward light through the opal polycarbonate shade. The exact lumen output is not specified in the product data, but 4000K LEDs of this wattage typically provide enough light to illuminate a 2-3m radius path section. The diffuser prevents harsh downlighting and spreads the light evenly around the bollard base.

Is the LED replaceable?

The LED is integrated into the fitting and is not user-replaceable. The 5-year warranty covers LED failure, and integrated LEDs in outdoor fittings typically have a rated lifespan of 25,000-50,000 hours depending on operating conditions.

Does the IP44 rating allow for installation in exposed coastal areas?

IP44 means the fitting is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. This is suitable for typical UK gardens and patios, but in coastal areas with salt spray and high wind-driven rain, a higher IP rating (IP65 or above) would provide better long-term durability. The powder-coated aluminium will resist corrosion better than steel, but regular rinsing with fresh water is advisable in high-salt environments.
